Why is it that nevada does include support for the PGX64, but OpenSolaris does not.. Is this: 1/. a "real" technical issue in so much as the internals of OpenSolaris differ so much from nevada that you can't easily just use the nevada driver or 2/. is this really much more of a licensing/political type of reason I (and I think many many others) have not yet built a complete mental model to properly and fully differentiate between Nevada and OpenSolaris and where lies politics and where lies technology....
